Monstera Care Guide

     Leave a Comment

Some of us have jumped in on the love for the absolutely beautiful Monstera collection!  But with there being 48 varieties of Monsteras, how can you choose your favorite?  Some of the most common types we have in our homes are Monstera Deliciosa, Adansonii, Variegata (Thai Constellation), and Borsigiana.  Since they’re not the cheapest plant to buy, making sure we can provide them with optimal care is important.

These gorgeous plants, belonging to the Arum family of plants, are an epic display in our homes and outdoor gardens!  They’re a tropical vine from the rainforests of Mexico and Central America that grow below the forest canopy in filtered light.  It’s important to understand their natural, outdoor habitat, so that we can mimic it indoors to create the perfect environment for them.

This stunning plant, with it’s large dark green leaves and spectacular white flowers, is a common houseplant that’s relatively cheap to buy! They even help with purifying the air in your home by breaking down gases like carbon monoxide and formaldehyde.  This plant comes with the label of ‘easy for beginners’, but some of us have been through a few of them before finding great success.  Hopefully by the end of reading this blog, you’ll be able to have a positive and successful experience with your Peace Lily.
